Control: found -1 2.0.3-1

I too have been watching this.  This patch has both resolved the reproducer
and some other real-world cases (in fact, I'm unaware of anyone experiencing
the corruption after using the patch).

However, in the (draft) pull request, there is discussion over how the
(clearly incorrect code) could actually cause the symptom [1].

There is progress on this, but it is occurring in real time.  My suggestion
is to wait for upstream to decide they understand it, finalize the PR, merge
it, and then back port the fix to 2.3.  This last step may be painful, since
the analysis may have to be re-done on the early state of the code in 2.3.

Given the time involved, its quite likely the back port may not be done in
time for trixie---it may have to wait until the first point release.  But,
it's important to understand that this bug has been around for years now,
and upgrading to trixie from bookworm is not going to make the situation
worse for anyone.

I would recommend reducing the severity of this bug to important so that
zfs is not removed from trixie.

Best,
Antonio Russo
